New book by two Dopers - the truth about vaccines

This is fantastic. I’m so impressed. Thanks or igniting the good fight.

Posted to FB, too.

Congratulations on your publication! Facebooked it as well. I’m sure it will cost me a couple of Friends, but…fuck 'em, I’m rather sick of their psychotic posts anyhow. :smiley:

I sent a link of this to my friend who posted a link to an anti-vax site a long while back. He’s a sane, rational individual, though, not an anti-vaxxer, I just think he didn’t have the expertise in the matter to really evaluate the claims the site made. I sent him this because it will do a better job than I ever would of explaining everything.

My kid is autistic. Diagnosed etc. Unmistakably. Yet if you see him on playground, you will see him interacting (somewhat) with other kids, running over to me and talking with me (you’d have to stand close to hear the speech problems such as mixing pronouns and formulaic speech).

It looks like a splendid book. I shall try to get my hands on it. :slight_smile:

Congratulations!

Requested at my county library. Good luck with sales!

That’s so amazing! Congratulations and I, too, will be recommending it to people I know.

Thank you all.

I wish Amazon had more sense on this issue. Put the word vaccine into an Amazon search on books and this one up comes third on the list:

That’s the Neil Z. Miller book.

Miller is a nutter. Where does he get his information from? Why from speaking with space aliens of course! I am not making that up.

Congratulations and thank you.

So, do you know Brian Deer?

We do not (unless LavenderBlue has a relationship with him that I don’t know about, in which case we shall Have Words :slight_smile: ). However, his investigation into the Wakefield issue was an inspiration to us.

Well, if you ever meet him, tell him you know someone on a message board that just gushes about what a hero he is.

In the meantime, you will be my heroes, and I will brag to everyone how well I know you.

Congratulations and good luck!

Oh yay! I’m so happy you found a publisher. :smiley:

I’ll do that, right after I finish gushing to him about how I think he’s a hero :smiley:

I talked to Dr. Offit over the phone like a teenager within ten feet of Justin Bieber. Does that count?

:smiley:

What LavenderBlue is kindly not sharing is that while she was the point contact person for Paul Offit, I was too star-struck to even talk to him on the phone :smiley:

I plan to take a monster-class poop and have it sent to the same address.

Nice review of the book on the Parents Magazine website:

Yeah!

Congratulations to both of you.

I was going to mention the book in an Amazon health forum discussion on vaccines, but the end result would probably be a pack of antivaxers posting negative reviews of the book without ever having read it.

So, how much did Big Pharma pay you to write it? :smiley:
